Parker hurt as Spurs draw level
Print Edition
THE San Antonio Spurs suffered a major injury blow with Tony Parker going down with a leg injury during his team’s second-round playoff game against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.
The veteran point guard came down awkwardly on his left leg after a shot attempt early in the 4th quarter and stayed down for several minutes before eventually being carried into the locker room.
Parker was to have an MRI today but the Spurs are not expecting him to play in Game 3 of the best-of-7 series tomorrow.
“It’s not good,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said after his team claimed a 121-96 win that tied the series 1-1.
“We’re going to miss his presence,” teammate Manu Ginobili said of Parker, 34, a four-time NBA champion.
In Cleveland, LeBron James reached another milestone as the Cavaliers routed the Toronto Raptors 125-103 to grab a 2-0 lead in their playoff series.
James became the NBA’s second all-time leading scorer in the postseason with a 39-point performance.
He nailed a 3-pointer in the second half to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (5,762 points) for second place. Michael Jordan is first with 5,987 playoff points.
